The guiche is dead. Undercombing is dead The great exception will be a volume of hair of such beauty glistening and curl that would be rrresistible and always we must turn the tables not to just make an effect but because it is so attractive. SEPTEMBER 8, 1969 SUBJECT: THE GYPSY LOOK I think that we can consider that the gypsy look has now gotten into the bloodstream of most people who are in- terested in fashion. The look has languor. The hair is crazily wonderful. The girls and boys of today really are gypsies. They are not competitive. They amuse themselves in their own way and believe in the physical beauty of each other. Let us keep at this gypsy theme and carry it on into 1970. SEPTEMBER 25, 1969 Is there nobody in the village or slightly out of work or a poor old Arab who would make us some passementerie ornamental belts etc. I cannot believe that somebodywotÙd not 1;>e happy doing this. I would go to the Tunisian and Mo- roccan shops. Let's give the Arabs a boost, they are very down in the mouth because of the war. Let's really investigate this. I don't think we are being very fair. NOVEMBER 20, 1969 RE: SHAWLS, PONCHOS, ETC. I am strong for the shawl, the pon- cho, the toga what-have-you. BUT. We must not cut in on the coat mar- ket. First of all we will lose the workers and there are very few tailors left and they must have encouragement. Please encourage the coat into whatever market you are gOIng. We know the coat market is very weak. The coat people are very :fìi.ghtened . . . DECEMBER 3, 1969 SUBJECT: WILD UFE At last after all this time of talking and asking, we have received a list of an- imals that appertain to our business that are in danger of extinction: All Spotted Cats Cheetah Leopard Jaguar Ocelot Tigers Polar Bears Alligators Crocodiles Sea Turtles Vicuña Sea Otter Spanish Lynx JANUARY 5,1970 SUBJECT: WISPS OF HAIR Don't you think the time has come to drop this. I am not speaking of ringlets around the face, I am not speaking of anything that is especially pretty or be- coming but I do think sad little pieces of hair falling on the forehead have, first of all, never looked well and at the present moment look bad. I don't feel any of you boss the hair- dressers around enough. I do not feel they are coming up with anything. JANUARY 5,1970 SUBJECT: RODI GERNREICH Rudi Gemreich called me whùe he was in California and told me the following: "Life" on Jan. 5-today-will publish his views on the 1970s. He believes in being totally hairless, shaved all over the body very, very clean look of nudity-no hair, no clothes. When necessary, the body will be made up. Rudi's other statement is he wishes to separate the young from the old. He be- lieves fashions for the older generation should be taken from the oriental, as an old body in flowing robes is beautiful and an older body in young clothes is dreadful (we all agree). For older people- flowing Tibetan robes and lots of personali For youth: leotards and brilliant skirts for girls and boys. Brilliant yellow; brilliant violet, etc. Brilliant colored cosmetic lenses for eyes. JANUARY 20, 1970 SUBJECT: DOG COlLARS Please see the dog collars on page 5 of WWD.
